PAVING THE PATH TO YOUTH GREEN ENTREPRENEURSHIP: ACTIVISM, EDUCATION OR BOTH?

This study pioneers the application of the Civic Voluntarism Model to investigate youth green entrepreneurship. We conducted a survey among Indonesian students enrolled in higher education institutions. Our analysis of 441 responses using Hayes’ Process Model with 5000 bootstrapping iterations yields significant insights. We discovered that youth committed to the environment are more likely to pursue green entrepreneurship when actively engaging in offline environmental activism. Intriguingly, exposure to entrepreneurship education alone does not significantly strengthen the shift from environmental commitment to the green entrepreneurship unless youth also participate in offline environmental activism. This discovery propels the Civic Voluntarism Model forward, highlighting the critical roles of entrepreneurship education as a moderator and offline environmental activism as a mediator in facilitating the transition from environmental commitment to the pursuit of green entrepreneurship among youth. Despite recognizing the threat of climate change and their capacity to tackle it, youth face criticism for their lack of active participation in mitigation efforts. Our findings address this challenge by providing actionable recommendations for educators, policymakers and young individuals aspiring to become green entrepreneurs. These recommendations aim to empower young individuals to drive positive environmental change beyond the confines of the classroom.

Assessment of users' behavior in Lithuanian online communities.

Online communities are gaining importance in modern society by actively structuring public opinion and initiating discussions about various socio-economical issues. As information and communication technologies advance, the online communities are confronted with novel technological and societal hurdles (the spread of misinformation, lack of active participation). To boost their efficacy and productivity, it's crucial to enhance our understanding of user behavior, communication avenues and potential future trends of development. Online platforms serve a function beyond simply sharing information or knowledge; they act as influential social networks affecting various societal sectors, including politics, culture and the economy. There is a need to recognize online communities not as static entities, but as dynamic, evolving systems of collective intelligence. A representative quantitative study was carried out between 1 to 30 of October 2022 through direct, in-person interviews conducted at the respondent's residence (known as an Omnibus survey). The sample of respondents is representative of the entire population of Lithuania regarding essential socio-demographic characteristics. By thoroughly analyzing data gathered from a comprehensive quantitative study, the study raises awareness of the issues surrounding online communities, while also shedding light on social networking behavior within these virtual spaces. Despite the multitude of challenges inherent to virtual communication, there remains a significant knowledge gap in comprehending general user behavior within these online communities. The current research aims to bridge this gap by investigating user behavior in Lithuanian online communities.

Need Analysis of The Development Discovery Learning-Based Module Assisted by PhET Simulations to Train Students' Conceptual Understanding

Students' conceptual understanding is an essential component in terms of successful learning. But the fact shows that the conceptual understanding of Indonesian students is still relatively low. One of the factors for the unelevated understanding of the concept is the lack of active participation during the process. Student involvement encounter by using teaching materials that facilitate student learning independence. One way is to use a module integrated with discovery learning models that authorize students to learn independently. This research is survey research as an initial step in developing discovery learning-based learning modules assisted by PhET Simulations. The benefit of this research is to find out what students currently need in science learning and how much students need for the buildup of discovery learning-based modules. The subjects used in this study were junior high school students with a sample size of 35 students and 26 science teachers selected by region. The needs analysis includes four indicators, a) analysis of learning problems; b) student analysis; c) objective analysis; and d) learning setting analysis. Based on the results of this study, the discovery learning-based learning modules assisted by PhET Simulations needed to be developed as a science learning medium to train students' conceptual understanding in Riau and Riau Islands provinces.

THE PERFORMANCE OF THE TEACHER AKIDAH AKHLAK IN DEVELOPING THE STUDENTS' CHARACTER AT MTs SWASTA BUSAK BUOL REGENCY

The goal of this study was to provide an explanation for how moral akidah teachers at private MTs in Buol Regency were able to help pupils develop their character. The research method applied is qualitative research, the approach used is a psychological approach The informants of this research are the head of Madrasah, teacher of Akidah Akhlak, teacher of Al-Quran Hadith, and other general teachers. The data is collected through observation, interview, and documentation. Data analysis techniques used are data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. While testing the validity of the data is done by triangulation. The findings of this research indicated that although the Akidah Akhlak teachers at MTs Swasta Busak Buol Regency did an excellent job of developing their students' character, character development is still subpar and not at its best. The approach of habituation of everyday activities and spontaneous activities, example, and extracurricular activities used at MTs Swasta Busak Buol Regency to create student character Supporting elements at MTs Swasta Busak that help students develop their character include a dedication to the stringent enforcement of Madrasah laws and time management. Then, the limiting factor is made up of two elements: external ones, such teachers' lack of participation in activities, and internal ones, like the community's and the Madrasah's surroundings, particularly parents, who are not cooperating. The character development will have a major impact, if the Akidah akhlak teacher is prepared to develop students' character in a way that is appropriate for the subject matter. The second implication is that if the teacher of Akidah akhlak exercises management skills with regard to both classes and students as well as using various methods in accordance with the characteristics through character building, there will be an efficient process for fostering the character of students. The third implication will result in significant changes if madrasah leaders consistently carry out quality development activities for teachers, particularly Akidah Akhlak teachers, through coaching and training.

The Barrier Factors to the Implementation of Building Information Modelling for Construction Industry in Sarawak

Building Information Modelling (BIM) Construction Lifecycle Process offers digital construction solutions throughout the whole project lifecycle by providing sustainable productivity and quality and increasing the work collaboration and efficiency of the design teams.

Women offenders’ experiences of rehabilitation in a South African correctional centre

This study explored gendered rehabilitation of women in correctional spaces and the systems and structures that recreate inequities in women’s incarceration experiences. Eighteen black women completed in-depth interviews on their offender rehabilitation experiences. Their age ranged from 23 to 69 years old, and they were mostly incarcerated for violent offenses. Thematic analysis of the interview data yielded the following themes: lack of active participation in rehabilitation processes; exclusion through language and religion; and enforcement of domestication for incarcerated women. Social justice centred approaches that recognise the diversity (classification, socio-cultural background, and gender dynamics) of people inhabiting correctional centres would help reduce disparities in correctional rehabilitation that disadvantage women offenders.

The Effectiveness of Employee Performance Appraisal System in Health Sector: Evidence from Iranian organizations

Introduction: Performance appraisal is a formal process to review and improve the organizational performance of employees regularly. Despite the appropriate organizational frameworks for performance appraisal, they are not apparently addressing the operational realities of health care organizations. This study thus aimed to examine the effectiveness of the current performance appraisal system of employees at Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS) from the perspective of employees. Methods: The data were collected from 504 TUMS employees using researcher-developed questionnaire following the validation. It consisted of 46 questions covering such various dimensions as performance expectations, communication of performance objectives to employees, self-assessment, performance metrics, surveyors, and performance appraisal results. ANOVA, t-test, Post hoc and Tukey statistical tests were used during analysis process by SPSS 22. Results: The performance appraisal system was not found as effective as expected from the employees’ perspective and the scores for all its dimensions dropped below the average. The overall performance appraisal score was 2.71 (out of 5). There was also a significant correlation between the employees’ education and organizational job group and the score of performance appraisal (p<0.0001). Conclusion: The current appraisal system according to the results is not well functioning. Therefore, it seems necessary to make urgent changes. The lack of active participation from employees and managers in performance appraisal development process, and the subsequent low motivation to improve their performance seems to be a persistent challenge. A fairly desirable solution might be to decentralize the appraisal processes rendering more authority to managers and supervisors along with empowering managers.

Development of Criticality in Thought: A Conceptual Framework for Online Student Discussion Forums in Higher Education

Assessing student understanding and extending student learning beyond the face-to-face or synchronous online lesson is commonly done with the use of online discussion forums. However, the challenge reported by tutors of higher education has always been the lack of active participation and critical engagement by students unless the task is graded formally. Researchers have been investigating various approaches to facilitate effective learning experiences such that students are motivated to engage others when they are tasked to partake in such asynchronous discussions. This paper explores how I sought to engage my Engineering undergraduate students, reading a critical thinking and writing module taught in a blended learning environment, in online discussion forums with the adoption of the Paul-Elder critical thinking framework. The aim was to develop higher levels of criticality in thought in students’ forum responses, while demonstrating the application of the critical thinking tools, such that they were able to collaboratively construct knowledge and deepen their conceptual understanding of Engineering leadership. Results of the analysis found that students were engaged in spontaneous dialogic discussions in the form of repeated extended posts published in the online discussion forums. Furthermore, analysis of student critical reflection essays also confirmed that the online discussion forums, with a deliberate use of the tools of the framework, had contributed to their development of critical thinking skills to deepen their understanding. This paper concludes with a recommendation for tutors of higher education to make the assessment of students’ critical reflection or critical thinking skills visible for students with a proposed conceptual framework for online discussion forums.

Wsparcie społeczne w percepcji matek dzieci z zaburzeniami ze spektrum autyzmu doświadczających migracji męża

The main aim of this study was to determine social support in the perception of mothers of children with autism spectrum disorders who experience their husband's economic migration. An important goal was also to show the differences in between the perceived social support in among mothers of children with autism spectrum disorders who experience their husband's migration, and those whose husbands do not go abroad for work. The research involved 94 mothers raising children with autism spectrum disorders, 46 women whose husbands migrate (A) and 48 women who do not experience their husbands' migration (B). The sample selection was deliberate. The Polish adaptation by E. Szlachta of the ISEL questionnaire (The Interpersonal Support Evaluation List) was used to achieve the goals, as accompanied by a self-made questionnaire. Analysis of the data on perceived social support showed statistically significant differences in the studied groups both in the overall result and across all scales. The results indicate that while mothers of children with autism spectrum disorders whose husbands go abroad are in a better financial situation, the absence and lack of active participation and support of the husband in caring for the child makes them feel there is less social support (scale of cognitive support, belonging, self-esteem), and they cope with problems much worse than women whose husbands do not go abroad. The results are statistically significant.
