The Development of Financial Accounting Learning Tools with Gall and Borg Model

This research aims to develop financial accounting learning tools namely; development of lesson plan, handouts, and learning media. The object of this research was the 11th grade students of accounting study program in Muhammadiyah 03 High Vocational School Singosari. The model of learning device development used Gall and Borg model. The stages were 1) Initial Needs Analysis; 2) Initial Product Developing; 3) Validation; 4) Product Revision I; 5) Limited Field Trial; 6) Product Revision II; 7) Field Trial; and 8) Final Product. The result of the research shows that the learning tools on financial accounting subject are valid/proper to be used. It is proven by the score of material expert judgment that is 82.8%, by the media expert that is 98.6%, by the education expert that is 86%, by the limited field trial (students and teachers ) that are 87.7% and 80.7%, and by Field trials that is 80.2%. In field trials, the development of learning tools can improve student learning outcomes. There are only 3 students who got their grades below the minimum mastery standard.

The Development of Indonesian Language Learning Materials Based on Local Wisdom of the First Grade Students in Sma Negeri 3 Palopo

This study was a research and development, with the aim of producing the development of Indonesian language learning materials based on local wisdom. There were three steps in this research and development. The first was a preliminary study. It was the literature studies and field studies. The second was the development study starting from analyzing the development of learning materials, the design of the initial product (prototype), and the development of Indonesian learning materials based on local wisdom. The third was an evaluation. It was conducted to test the effectiveness and feasibility of the development of Indonesian language learning materials based on local wisdom. The data of test results show that students’ average score reaches 82.31 from 30 students who were tested. The highest score is 87.70, and the lowest score is 73.60. Of the 30 students who worked on the student worksheet, there are 25 students (83.33%) who have a very high score category, and five students (16.67%) are in the high score category. Based on the learning outcomes regarding the mastery standard of the class namely 75%, the data show that students' work has been completed because there are 90% of 30 students who have reached the mastery standard of the class. Therefore, the use of Indonesian language learning materials based on local wisdom is feasible and suitable to be applied in accordance with the level of capabilities and characteristics of the first-grade students in SMA Negeri 3 Palopo.

UPAYA PENCAPAIAN STANDAR KETUNTASAN BELAJAR MINIMAL (SKBM) MELALUI PEMBELAJARAN KOOPERATIF MODEL STUDENT TEAM ACHIEVEMENT DIVISION (STAD)

The purpose of this study is to increase the minimum mastery standard in automotive electrical systems repairing matter with subject applying Student Team Achievement Division (STAD) model cooperative learning. This study used a classroom action research whitch was conducted in two cyles, each eycle consisted of four phases: planning, implementation, observation, dan reflection. The data were analyzed descriptively. The result proved that teaching learning process using STAD model cooperative learning increased the minimum mastery standard of students. Before applying STAD model cooperative learning, none passed the minimum mastery standard. After applying STAD model cooperative learning, there are advancement in term of the number of students passing the standard 48,48% in the first cycle and 87,88% in the second cycle. The average score reached 71,48 and 81,83 in the first and the second cycle. Therefore, this study concludes that STAD cooperative model increased the minimum mastery standard in automotive electrical systems repairing subject.

Structuring feedback and debriefing to achieve mastery learning goals.

Mastery learning is a powerful educational strategy in which learners gain knowledge and skills that are rigorously measured against predetermined mastery standards with different learners needing variable time to reach uniform outcomes. Central to mastery learning are repetitive deliberate practice and robust feedback that promote performance improvement. Traditional health care simulation involves a simulation exercise followed by a facilitated postevent debriefing in which learners discuss what went well and what they should do differently next time, usually without additional opportunities to apply the specific new knowledge. Mastery learning approaches enable learners to "try again" until they master the skill in question. Despite the growing body of health care simulation literature documenting the efficacy of mastery learning models, to date insufficient details have been reported on how to design and implement the feedback and debriefing components of deliberate-practice-based educational interventions. Using simulation-based training for adult and pediatric advanced life support as case studies, this article focuses on how to prepare learners for feedback and debriefing by establishing a supportive yet challenging learning environment; how to implement educational interventions that maximize opportunities for deliberate practice with feedback and reflection during debriefing; describing the role of within-event debriefing or "microdebriefing" (i.e., during a pause in the simulation scenario or during ongoing case management without interruption), as a strategy to promote performance improvement; and highlighting directions for future research in feedback and debriefing for mastery learning.

Mastery learning of thoracentesis skills by internal medicine residents using simulation technology and deliberate practice

Thoracentesis has been identified as a core competency for hospitalists. Residency training may not provide adequate preparation to perform this procedure. Our aim was to use a thoracentesis simulation to assess graduating residents' proficiency in thoracentesis procedural skills and to evaluate the impact of an educational intervention on skill development to mastery standards. This was a pretest-posttest mastery learning design without a control group. Participants were 40 third-year internal medicine residents in a university-affiliated program. Using an observational checklist, each resident underwent baseline assessment of thoracentesis skill using a standardized clinical history, radiograph, and thoracentesis simulation. After baseline testing, residents received two 2-hour education sessions featuring a videotaped presentation and deliberate practice with the thoracentesis simulator. Residents were retested after the intervention. Skill mastery was defined as meeting or exceeding the minimum passing score (MPS) set by an expert panel at thoracentesis posttest. Those who did not achieve the MPS had additional deliberate practice and were retested until the MPS was reached. Performance improved 71% from pretest to posttest on the clinical skills examination. All residents met or exceeded the mastery standard. The amount of practice time needed to reach the MPS was the only predictor (negative) of posttest performance. The education program was rated highly. A curriculum featuring deliberate practice dramatically increased the skills of residents in thoracentesis. Residents enjoy training and receiving evaluation and feedback in a simulated clinical environment. This mastery program illustrates a feasible and reliable mechanism to achieve procedural competency.

Effects of Expectation Level on Achievement in High School Physical Science Courses (ISIS) Employing a Quasi Mastery Teaching Method

AbstractThis study determined the effects of a modified mastery learning system on achievement in an individualized high school physical science course (ISIS). The manipulated variable was mastery level (Low, Medium, or High). Also included were student aptitude variables of academic ability, study orientation, and locus of control. Three separate analyses were conducted using total score and two subscales, core items and advanced-excursion items, as dependent variables. In each analysis, the ANCOVA model explained a significant amount of variance. The results indicated that medium mastery standards were most strongly associated with higher achievement for each dependent variable. Comparing high and low standards, high was better for easy content while low was better for hard content. It is hypothesized that students attempted to meet the mastery standards given the task difficulty, quality of instruction, and time available. Standards set too high, given these constraints, resulted in discouragement and ...
