Identification of Understanding of Disaster Preparedness in the School Environment

Flores Island is vulnerable towards natural disasters. Therefore, it requires an effective disaster warning ma-nagement. In this context, schools play an important role in disaster warning system. However, not all schools implement Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) procedures effectively. Therefore, efforts are needed to improve disaster warning system among schools by integrating the three pillar principles, which include safe facilities, effective disaster management, and resilience education. This study aims to understand the state of school readiness in the Flores region and assess the extent to which these schools apply the three pillar criteria for school disaster warning system. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive ap-proach, with data collection through an open questionnaire distributed using Google Forms. The result showed that the locations of the respondent's schools are spread across the most disaster-prone areas of Flo-res, especially along the coastal areas. In addition, there are still many schools in the region that have diffe-rent levels of understanding and awareness regarding to disaster warning system. Based on that issue, the program for activating the disaster warning system in school area is very important to apply and can increase public awareness of disaster warning system. To achieve that idea, a collaboration between school commit-tees, external parties, and the Flores community is essential to strengthen the school infrastructure and to build an effective response towards potential disaster risks and threats.

Problematika ochrany vodných zdrojov v Európskej únii - Skúsenosti regionálnych aktérov

The pollution of water resources is a civilizational problem, the urgency of which will increase as climate change progresses. Today we have a problem with water not only with quantitative, but also in qualitative point of view. This was the main reason for us to focus our attention on this environmental problem. The focus of this paper was to provide theoretical and practical information for integrating the legislative-implementation process on the regional level in the context of strengthening the protection of water resources. In the first part of our study, we explored the water pollution problem through the lens of European competences and selected legislations. The same process was chosen for the analysis of water protection in joined member states of the integration grouping which is Slovakia and the Czech Republic. In the research part we focused on assessing the degree of implementation of European measures in the issue of water resource protection by chosen regional actors of water politics in Slovakia and the Czech Republic, while identifying deficiency arising in this process. This research obtained the data using open questionnaire, through which we addressed the actors that were responsible for the implementation of the adopted decisions into practice. Subsequently, we used a comparative method to evaluate the current state and protection level of drinking water in the compared regions.

중등 예비교사의 좋은 수업에 대한 인식: 의미연결망 분석을 중심으로

Objectives The purpose of this study is to explore the perception of good instruction that secondary pre-service
 teachers think by applying semantic network analysis.
 Methods For this purpose, data were collected using open questionnaires targeting 334 Secondary School preservice
 teachers. Keywords, centrality index, and bigrams were extracted through the collected data and the main
 results were visualized.
 Results The results were as follows: First, regarding the perception of good instruction, ‘instruction’ is located in
 the middle of the cognitive structure and forms the relationship and connection strength based on the words
 ‘student’, ‘teacher’, ‘thinking’, ‘class contents’, and ‘knowledge’. This means that ‘instruction’ is located in the middle
 of the recognition structure, and the relationship and connection strength were formed based on the words
 of ‘student’, ‘teacher’, ‘thinking’, ‘class contents’, ‘knowledge’. Second, it was found that the main perceptions of
 good instruction were classes that convey subject knowledge so that students can understand the contents of the
 class well, classes that include active participation activities of students, classes that draw students' interest,
 classes with questions that can give various thoughts or opinions, classes that educate students to have learning
 goals, and classes that interact with teachers and students.
 Conclusions The results of this study will provide teachers with a good opportunity to reflect on the instruction,
 and it can be used as useful information for practical directions such as class planning for good instruction.

Development of a Value-Based VCT Learning Model Al-Washliyahan in The Learning Process at Madrasah Aliyah on North Sumatra

The research problem in this study is that there are only a few schools under the auspices of the Al-Washliyah organization, and there are almost no public schools in North Sumatra that integrate Al-Washliyah values into the learning process. However, Al-Washliyah values are highly aligned with the national education goals of developing an intelligent, characterful, morally upright, and independent society. This is because teachers do not yet have the appropriate strategies and learning models to integrate these values. Therefore, this research aims to develop a VCT (Values-Centered Teaching) learning model based on the ideas of Al-Washliyah figures. The research follows a research and development (R&D) approach. The research design follows the 4D model by Thiagarajan, Semmel, and Semmel. The research subjects consist of 135 Madrasah Aliyah students. Data collection is done through interviews, observations, open questionnaires, expert validation sheets, and practicality assessment sheets for the model. The collected data is then analyzed using SPSS version 25.0. The results of the study show that the developed model has high validity and reliability. Therefore, the developed model can be used as a learning model to integrate the values of Al-Washliyah figures into the learning process.

Problematika Penguasaan Kosakata Bahasa Mandarin Siswa Kelas VII SMP Frater Makassar

ABSTRACT This research is a qualitative-quantitative research that aims to find out the problems and factors that influence the problems of mastering Chinese vocabulary for class VII students at SMP Frater Makassar. The population in this study were 179 students of class VII SMP Frater Makassar. The sampling technique was carried out using random sampling, so the sample in this study were students of class VII F, totaling 30 students. The research instruments were in the form of interviews, closed questionnaires and open questionnaires. Data were analyzed using percentage techniques. The results showed that the problems in students' mastery of Mandarin vocabulary were that students were novice students who did not know Hanzi and even had difficulty pronouncing it, students acted normally when they received assignments and felt embarrassed to appear in front of the class to memorize Chinese vocabulary, the time allocation for learning Mandarin still not enough. These problems are influenced by two factors, namely internal factors (student discipline), lack of interest in learning and students' self-confidence in learning Mandarin and external factors (teachers, facilities and infrastructure, and family), namely: teachers sometimes use creative learning media in introducing new vocabulary to students; insufficient number of Chinese language textbooks; parents rarely provide motivation to learn Mandarin. As for other external factors, according to the interview data obtained, the school does not yet have a language laboratory.Keywords: Problems, Vocabular

Factor analysis of young academician consumption behaviors toward organic food and it’s obstacles

Purpose – This research aimed to explore environmentally friendly behaviors toward organic food consumption among the young academicians dominant in the higher education environment. This study also aims to explore the obstacles in consuming organic food qualitatively. Design/methodology/approach – This research uses mix methods by combining two analytical methods. The population was academicians consuming organic food in Indonesia. This research employed the purposive sampling technique. The criteria used in this study determine the sample as young academicians who are still active in higher education, care about a health issue, and regularly buy products for daily consumption, or are called regular consumers. Primary data were collected through surveys using closed and open questionnaires. The study uses mix methods consisting of descriptive qualitative and factor analysis were used in the data analysis. Findings – The results show that the factors influencing academicians' organic food consumption are responsibility for the environment, subjective norms, information or knowledge, the impact of consumption, behavioral control, and the values oriented towards nature. However, still aspects may become obstacles in consuming organic food, namely organic product price, availability, information or knowledge, and trust. Originality/value – This research offers a study of consumption from young academics, which is not widely studied, even though young academics have an important role in environmentally-friendly behavior. This research also investigated several reasons that became obstacles to the young academician behavior of consuming organic food. Research limitation – This research has several limitations, such as the variation of the sample. Cultural differences bring consequences for differences in environmentally friendly behavior because of the values that are different. Future research can compare the consumption behavior of young academicians based on the country and cultural differences. Practical implication – Based on the findings, some practical recom­men­dations for increasing environmentally friendly consumption are made through promoting organic consumption behavior's benefits and environ­mental impacts. Environmentally friendly teaching material needs to be considered part of the learning process to improve academic knowledge. Young academician can become promotional agents to shape environ­mentally friendly consumption behavior, especially organic products. Another contribution as an agent of change in behavior in the world of education is also acting as a segmentation pattern for academic groups.

Teachers’ Ideas and Educational Experiences Regarding Urban Environmental Sustainability in Bogotá, Colombia

Teachers’ actions in sustainable development are guided by a way of conceiving the environment. This study sought to account for the ideas and experiences of teachers in education for sustainable development in the city of Bogotá, Colombia. Based on a qualitative study with an interpretive approach through an open questionnaire, the aim was to investigate educational proposals developed in institutions on urban environmental sustainability that allow the articulation of SDGs 4 and 11. The results intersect with the proposal of sustainability typologies from the epistemological, axiological, and ontological components. The findings showed that environmental training involves both the understanding of relationships and problems and the proposal of alternatives that allow us to offer new horizons as a possibility to build and promote other ways of being and developing, individually and collectively, in the places we inhabit and that we contribute to the world. This requires rethinking education, strengthening pedagogical proposals, and developing other alternatives to educate ourselves socio-environmentally, to train responsible citizens, and to achieve sustainable societies. Understanding the perceptions and practices of teachers in regard to sustainability can contribute to defining priority lines of research, proposing educational guidelines for teacher training, and guiding the development of public policies for curricular greening from a critical perspective. This makes it possible to promote educational actions to consolidate citizen training.

Providing a model for financing the treatment costs during biological crises using the fiscal space development approach

BackgroundExpanding fiscal space for health can be defined as providing additional budgetary resources for health, which is highly important during biological crises. This study aimed to provide a model for financing the treatment costs during biological crises using the development of the fiscal space approach.MethodsThis study employed a descriptive mixed-method design, consisting of three stages. In the first stage, a systematic review of relevant literature was conducted using multiple databases, including Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar. A total of 45 studies that met the inclusion criteria were selected. In the second stage, a panel of 14 experts identified five primary and 32 secondary strategies using an open questionnaire. Any additional strategies not identified during the literature review were added if a consensus was reached by experts. In the final stage, the Best Worst Method (BWM) was used to prioritize the identified strategies and sub-strategies based on their feasibility, effectiveness, quick yield, and fairness.ResultsFive strategies and fifty sub-strategies were identified. The most important strategies were the increase in health sector-specific resources (0.3889), increase in efficiency of health expenditures (0.2778), structural reforms (0.1111), health sector-specific grants and foreign aid (0.1667), and conducive macroeconomic conditions (0.05556). The most important sub-strategies were establishing and increasing earmarked taxes for the health sector (0.0140), expanding Universal Health Coverage (UHC) plans (0.0103), attracting the participation of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and charitable organizations in the health sector (0.0096), integrating basic social insurance funds (0.0934), and tax exemptions for economic activists in the health sector (0.009303) during the crisis.ConclusionThis study identified five main strategies and 50 sub-strategies for financing the treatment costs during biological crises. The most important strategies were increasing health sector-specific resources, improving efficiency of health expenditures, and implementing structural reforms. To finance health expenditures, harmful and luxury goods taxes can be increased and allocated to the health sector during crises. UHC plans should be improved and expanded, and the capacity of NGOs and charitable organizations should be better utilized during crises.
