Decision Support System Using the Multi-Objective Optimization Based on Ratio Analysis (MOORA) Method to Determine the World of Work Partners Competency Test at SMK Karnas Sindangwangi

Vocational High Schools (SMK) are designed to prepare students to enter the world of work or business with a focus on specific skills. The Skills Competency Test (UKK) is an effort by the government to ensure the quality of education in SMK. SMK Karya Nasional Sindangwangi organises UKK Mandiri using standardised instruments from the government and involving workplace partners. Currently, the selection of workforce partners in this school still needs to be done conventionally, making it challenging to determine relevant partners. This research aims to build a Decision Support System (DSS) to determine the optimal workplace partners for implementing UKK at SMK using the Multi-Objective Optimization based on Ratio Analysis (MOORA) method. This method calculates the final value converted into a matrix to obtain a value index (Yi) used for partner ranking. The alternative with the highest value from the benefit and cost criteria calculation is considered the best. The results showed PT Telkom Indonesia (Persero) as the best partner with a weight value of 0.3235, followed by PT Len Industri (Persero) with a value of 0.2656, PT Akur Pratama (Yogya Group) 0.2240, PT Arta Flash Sintesa Nusantara 0.1844, PT Seong Sin Tech 0.1553, and PT Indosat Ooredoo Tbk 0.1365.

A comparison of skills competency test scores among Philippine-educated nursing students after an intensive medical-surgical course

Objective : This study examined the effect of a 10-week intensive medical-surgical course on ability to perform 16 common, acute care skills among Philippine educated nursing students seeking licensure in California. The aims of the study were to (1) determine competency in performing skills at the start of the medical-surgical course and (2) evaluate the effectiveness of the medical-surgical course in improving skill competency. Methods : Twenty-three Philippine educated nursing students participated in a 4-hour skills competency test procedure that involved 4 patient care stations and 16 common acute care skills. During the last week of the 10-week medical-surgical course that included 24 open simulation lab practice hours, these same 23 students repeated the testing procedure. Results : At the start of the course skill competency scores were low with many of the participants unable to complete the skills stations. A significant improvement occurred in scores for 14 of the 16 skills when tested in the final week of the medical-surgical nursing course under the same conditions ( p < .05). Conclusions : Conducting the nursing skills competency testing procedure at the start of the course informed faculty about the abilities of Philippine educated nursing student participants. Because of potential differences in nursing education abroad, graduates of nursing programs in the Philippines might benefit from competency testing to evaluate initial skill levels, followed by intensive review of commonly performed nursing skills in the United States, if warranted by initial results.
