Karakter Pemilih Pemula di Kabupaten Tuban: Adaptasi Budaya Politik Sekolah

Starting from curiosity about how the political culture of the school in shaping the character of novice voters in Tuban Regency. So this research was conducted using comparative qualitative methods to explore primary data on research subjects spread across senior high schools (SMA) in Tuban Regency such as Deputy Head of Student Affairs, Citizenship Education Teachers, Coaches and OSIS Students (Intra-School Student Organizations), including the General Election Commission of Tuban Regency as secondary data in this study. The results showed that the political culture of schools in shaping the character of novice voters in Tuban Regency with an understanding and emphasis on students about politics in Indonesia through classroom teaching, then the implementation of democracy in Indonesia in the OSIS election, as well as school innovation in carrying out the student council selection process that is packaged online. Furthermore, the adaptation of political culture that is applied forms the character of students as novice voters. The character of students as novice voters is behavior that is active in practical politics, starting from following, criticizing and participating. This active behavior can be seen from the implementation of the smallest political practice in schools, namely the Student Council Election.

Understanding gender disparity: factors affecting higher education self-efficacy of students in Malaysia

Purpose Gender disparity is a global phenomenon where females outnumber male participants. It has been observed that males are the early leaver from higher education, thus reflecting a severe concern about social instability. Malaysia is a prominent example where females outnumber males in higher education. In this context, this paper aims to examine the effect of individual, social and financial factors on the higher education self-efficacy of male and female students. It develops a comprehensive understanding of gender-based decision factors in pursuing higher education. Design/methodology/approach The hypothesis was formed based on a comprehensive literature review following the hypothetico-deductive positivist approach. These hypotheses were tested based on a sample of 250 respondents. A multiple regression analysis was deployed to test the relationship between the dependent variable and its predictors. Findings The results suggest that male and female students’ self-efficacy depends on five determinants, i.e. family influence, peer influence, career expectancy outcome, gender roles and institutional factors. Male students tend to be influenced more by these five determinants than females. Additionally, male students with better financial backgrounds are more likely to have higher self-efficacy, whereas gender roles negatively affect male and female students’ self-efficacy for higher education. Research limitations/implications The breakout of COVID-19 resulted in the selection of limited students in Malaysia. Due to restricted movement orders, it was impossible to reach out to the students for data collection. Future research could include a broader area to include multiple other regions of Malaysia. For a broader aspect, the study could be conducted in other areas/countries where the problem of less male participation exists. Practical implications The relationship between higher education self-efficacy is assessed with social, financial and institutional factors for male and female students. It will enable the stakeholders and policymakers to make better decisions in increasing the self-efficacy of students to attain equity in higher education institutions. Social implications The finding of this paper will assist in increasing male participation in higher education institutions to avoid any social instability. Originality/value This paper contributes to the literature in understanding the causes of gender gap reversal, focusing on Malaysian higher education institutions. It also provides empirical evidence to look at potential factors that affect the higher education self-efficacy of male and female students.

A novel improved chef-based optimization algorithm with Gaussian random walk-based diffusion process for global optimization and engineering problems

The chef-based optimization algorithm (CBOA) is a human-based method inspired by the relationship between culinary students and chef instructors. The original CBOA does not have a process that separately controls population generation and updating. For this reason, in this study, a novel improved CBOA with diffusion process (DP) algorithm with the Gaussian walk (CBOADP) is proposed. In this way, it is aimed to transfer promising members to the next iteration. In the original CBOA algorithm, the selection of the chefs is performed randomly. The oppositional-based learning (OBL) approach aims to find the current best chef by updating the chef from the chef candidates selected from opposite regions. Because the selection of the chef plays an important role in the selection of students. To develop the method with optimal parameters, parameter analysis is performed as the DP’s walk and maximum diffusion parameters. The new method’s performance is evaluated through the CEC2019 and CEC2022 test suites and traditional and advanced methods. Results for real design problems are also reported. All results are supported by the Wilcoxon sign and Friedman rank statistical tests. As a result, in general, the best convergence has been achieved with CBOADP in about 75% of the benchmark test data, and statistically, it has first rank among other methods on average. In addition, CBOADP reached the best fitness value in five of the six compared engineering problems. Accordingly, it is seen that DP and OBL approaches contribute positively to the performance of CBOA and show a successful convergence trend among other compared methods.

Multimodale Auswahl von Medizinstudierenden: Vorhersagekraft einzelner Verfahrensbestandteile im zweistufigen Auswahlverfahren an der Universität Witten/Herdecke (UW/H)

ObjectiveAccording to the legislator's ideas, the selection of medical students in Germany should no longer be based on the Abitur grade alone. This approach has already been implemented in the two-stage selection process at Witten/Herdecke University (UW/H) using several criteria. On the one hand, the present study aims to determine the prognostic value of the procedural components for the overall performance on the selection day. On the other hand, the different strategies of the applicants in processing the written task (phase 1) will be examined with regard to their application success. MethodologyData on applications for the summer semester 2020 (N = 819 phase 1; N = 233 phase 2) were available retrospectively. A stepwise regression analysis was conducted to determine the predictive power of each procedural component. Using a summary content analysis, the four essays from the applicants' motivation letters were structured and categories were identified, and an extreme group comparison (Group 1: Not invited; Group 2: University acceptance; N = 60 essays) was conducted. ResultsAs the stepwise regression analysis shows, the individual biographical interview emerged as the strongest predictor in terms of overall performance, followed by lecture, group interview, and multiple mini interviews. Content analysis extracted content and scaling categories for the individual essays, as well as an additional meta-category (Impression Management, IM). Successful applicants demonstrated, among other things, better judgment skills, more sophisticated reasoning skills, and an internalized role model as a physician. In addition, they used defensive IM strategies, e.g., subjectification and self-deprecation, more frequently. ConclusionBiographical interview is considered the strongest predictor of overall performance. The dimensions of impression management, reasoning quality and judgment proved to be reliable predictors of successful performance in the selection process. In addition, role image as a physician and professional commitment had a favorable effect on the selection decision.

Medical School Admissions: Focusing on Producing a Physician Workforce That Addresses the Needs of the United States.

The aging population, burnout, and earlier retirement of physicians along with the static number of training positions are likely to worsen the current physician shortage. There is an urgent need to transform the process for selecting medical students. In this Invited Commentary, the authors suggest that to build the physician workforce that the United States needs for the future, academic medicine should focus on building capacity in 3 overarching areas. First, medical schools need to develop a more diverse pool of capable applicants that better matches the demographic characteristics of health care trainees with those of the population, and they need to nurture applicants with diverse career aspirations. Second, medical schools should recalibrate their student selection process, aligning criteria for admission with competencies expected of medical school graduates, whether they choose to become practicing clinicians, physician-scientists, members of the public health workforce, or policy makers. Selection criteria that overweight the results of standardized test scores should be replaced by assessments that value and predict academic capacity, adaptive learning skills, curiosity, compassion, empathy, emotional maturity, and superior communication skills. Finally, to improve the equity and effectiveness of the selection processes, medical schools should leverage innovations in data science and generative artificial intelligence platforms. The ability of ChatGPT to pass the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) demonstrates the decreasing importance of memorization in medicine in favor of critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The 2022 change in the USMLE Step 1 to pass/fail plus the exodus of several prominent medical schools from the U.S. News and World Report rankings have exposed limitations of the current selection processes. Newer approaches that use precision education systems to leverage data and technology can help address these limitations.

Does examining job market awareness among medical students provide insight into the specialty selection process?

Background The future composition of a country’s physician workforce depends on medical students’ choices of specialties. Students’ familiarity with the job market (the healthcare system) they are about to enter and the influence job market conditions have on their choices has not been well explored. This study focuses on whether and how the healthcare system’s employment landscape is taken into consideration by medical students and whether this facet adds information about the specialty selection process. Methods Fifth-year medical students completed a questionnaire querying their knowledge and perceptions of the national healthcare system, selection criteria for choosing a specialty and a post-residency work position. Data were analyzed with two-tailed Student’s t-tests and multivariable regression analysis. Results The questionnaire was completed by 242 students (49% women). Forty per cent were interested in a specialty where it is ‘easy to find work’ and 64% in a specialty that ‘provides job security’. Only 12% were attracted to specialties with empty positions due to a workforce shortage. A high salary was considered an important selection criterion by 45% of students, who were also not deterred by specialties with surplus workforce, especially, if accompanied by high salaries or controllable lifestyles. Only 17% thought it would be easy to find a residency in any hospital in the specialty they chose, reflecting the low rate (3%) of positive responses to the statement that ‘there are sufficient residency positions in all specialties’. Conclusions This study demonstrated the utility of querying medical students about their market awareness when investigating the specialty selection process. Students’ poor rating of selection criteria, such as specialties with ease in finding jobs because they are suffering workforce shortages and have empty positions, provide insights and concerns for healthcare leaders. It should aid them in approaching the challenge of attracting students to specialties with workforce shortfalls. KEY MESSAGES This study demonstrated the feasibility and potential value of adding queries about market awareness when investigating the medical student specialty selection process. Medical students were more interested in a specialty that provides job security than one where it is easy to find work. It could be useful for the healthcare leadership and medical educators in all countries to learn what medical students know about their national healthcare system and whether they need to add more healthcare delivery and system subjects to their curricula.

Assess the Relationship between the Emirates Medical Residency Entry Examination, Grade Point Average, and Multiple Mini Interview Scores and the Resident’s End-of-Year-One Performance in the UAE

Background: Emirates Medical Residency Entry Examination (EMREE), grade point average (GPA), and multiple mini interviews (MMIs) offer a framework for using independent tests to choose medical students for interviewing and employment, finding people who would do well as residents and become good physicians. However, no one indicator can be used to properly predict performance in residency. Purpose: The primary goal of this study was to measure the relationship between the EMREE score, GPA, and MMI and the performance of residents in year 1. Methods: During the months of September 2021 and July 2022, a quantitative, descriptive, and correlational investigation was conducted in the UAE. Convenience sampling of applicants who met the inclusion criteria was used for the purposes of the current study. Results: There were 106 participants in the current study. EMREE and end-of-year-one evaluation had a moderate positive relationship that was significant statistically (r = 0.599**, n = 106, p < 0.05), according to a Pearson correlation. Similar to this, there was a significant relationship (r = 0.665**, p < 0.05) between GPA and the end-of-year-one performance. Likewise, there was a statistically significant (r = 0.996**, p < 0.05) positive association between MMI the end-of-year-one performance. Conclusion: The present study discovered a significant relationship between resident performance and the EMREE at the conclusion of year one. Additionally, the MMI is indeed a helpful tool to help in the selection of medical students and predict future performance. Additionally, the performance of medical students during their first year of residency can be predicted using their GPA, which has a substantial correlation.

Implementation of testing methods ("2 ball" and "6 ball" test) at the stage of student selection for sports improvement groups in futsal

The article presents the results of a study of the effectiveness of testing to check indicators of technical-tactical and speed-strength endurance of students who expressed a desire to specialize in futsal. The application of tests at the stage of selection of students in futsal to PSM groups is considered. The given list of tests is sufficiently productive to determine the level of technical and tactical preparation, which helps to quickly and effectively determine the level of physical preparation in futsal. The proposed testing exercises are aimed both at developing the players' cognitive functions and at determining the accuracy of movements during their execution. It is recommended for the optimal evaluation of the individual level of technical preparation of football players, which objectively reflects the level of performance of specific elements of movement technique. The specified motor tests (speed, dexterity, explosive power) can be attributed to motor exercises of complex orientation. When performing the tests, elements of spatial and temporal orientation were used, which emphasizes the multifunctionality of the given exercises. The execution of the tests accelerated the moment of adaptation of the players, both to the requirements and to work in the team. The analysis of the test results reveals the presence of tendencies towards higher indicators of speed-power orientation in the group, which is probably due to the level of training and higher indicators of physical development.

The student response on the use of renewable energy graphical interface simulator in learning environment

Introduction The purpose of this study is to evaluate students’ responses regarding the usefulness of a graphical user interface (GUI) tool in the context of their respective learning environments. The Energy Computator GUI (EC-GUI) helps to simplify the STEM student’s learning processes. The EC-GUI serves as a simulator that can assist in computing formulas, designing graphs, acting as a unit converter, and automatically deriving parameters. Methodology Furthermore, a survey, which included closed and open questions, was carried out on a selection of students majoring in STEM subjects at Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT) who were enrolled in the Renewable Energy course. A total of 54 respondents participated in the survey and 90.8% of them expressed satisfaction with the EC-GUI provided. The research involved using two distinct kinds of analysis: a parametric analysis, the paired sample t -test, and a non-parametric analysis, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results The study findings indicated that the majority of the respondents felt that the difficulty level of the subjects did not change after using the EC-GUI. However, it helped to simplify the learning process for students in STEM fields. The p -value of the appropriate teaching aid tool was less than 0.05, indicating that the results were significant both before and after using the EC-GUI. Conclusion The study suggests that a similar GUI tool could be implemented in Malaysia’s teaching and learning processes as it is easy to build and use.

Analysis of The Use of Chinese Degree Adverbs by Indonesian Students

Abstract. Degree adverbs are one of the important and difficult learning points in Teaching Chinese as a second language (TCSL). Commonly, Chinese degree adverbs are divided into two types and four levels. Each type and level have different collocations, semantic features, etc. According to the academic article collections in CNKI and google scholar, research on Chinese degree adverbs from the perspective of TCSL for Indonesian students is still very limited. This study discusses the use of Chinese degree Adverbs by Indonesian students. This study aims to describe the student selection of Chinese degree adverbs and to find the most frequent error types in using four commonly used comparative degree adverbs: low-level ‘shaowei’, medium-level ‘bijiao’, high-level ‘geng’, and extreme-level ‘zui’. The approach to this study is a quantitative-qualitative method. The samples are Chinese Department students at one of the universities in Bandung city. The data was collected from two exercises. This study applies the error analysis procedure introduced by McDowell to find the most frequent error types. The result shows that the students tend to use pure degree adverbs, and the most used pure degree adverb is high-level ‘hen’, followed by its synonymous words ‘tebie’, ‘feichang’, ‘tai’, and ‘shifen’. In using synonymous degree adverbs, students tend to use the first learned word. The form of exercises in the teaching material should encourage the student to use more varied degree adverbs. The most frequent error types in using four different levels of comparative degree adverbs are selection in bijiao word sentences and zui word sentences, misordering of degree adverbs, and the omission of complement ‘yidianr/yixie’ in shaowei word sentences. The major cause of the errors is intralingual interference. This study made some suggestions for the improvement of Chinese degree adverbs teaching material based on the findings.Keywords: Chinese Degree Adverbs, Selection Tendencies, Frequent Error Types, Indonesian Students

Just go to the office! An intersectional exploration of the role of race and gender in discipline referral reasons

ABSTRACT Educators’ differential selection of Black and Latine students for office discipline referrals is a significant driver of inequity in exclusionary outcomes. Using demographic data and discipline records for all students in one large urban school district, we use descriptive statistics and multilevel regression models to consider whether referral reasons are racialized and if these patterns intersect with gender. Our analyses indicate that educators are consistently more likely to refer Black students than White students to the office for several subjective reasons, including habitual disruption, that are purportedly race-neutral but privilege Whiteness. They are less likely to make referrals for Black students in the objective category of drug and alcohol use or possession. Latine students are more likely than White youth to be referred for habitual disruption and substance use or possession. We draw on Critical Race Theory to interpret these findings and their implications.

Integrated fuzzy AHP and TOPSIS as innovative student selection methodology at institutions of higher learning

BACKGROUND: The selection of students at academic institutions has been a challenging affair given multiple criteria that need to be considered by the institution. Additionally, multiple evaluators and decision makers are involved in the student selection process, rendering it inconsistent. The complexity and subjectiveness in such decisions making requires new and innovative approach in order to be more systematic and transparent. OBJECTIVE: This paper presents an innovative methodology for student selection for admission into an Institute of Higher Learning (IHL) using Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). Drawing on the success of using these methods in other fields, this study applies the technique and principles on student selection process. METHOD: Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) is used in determining the weights of the criteria by the decision makers which avoids the vagueness and inconsistencies in decision making process and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method ranks finds out the best alternative solution for student selection by calculating the relative closeness from the positive ideal solution. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: This research finds using the hybrid method is effective in student selection for IHL and makes the process efficient and bias-free. This method can be applied to various fields and uses where multi-criteria decision making is involved.

The Effect of Educational Intervention Based on the Health Belief Model on Promoting Perceived Self-efficacy to Prevent HIV/AIDS Among the High School Students

Background: Promoting awareness and correcting health beliefs about preventive behaviors in adolescents and young people are the most effective ways to prevent the transmission of HIV/AIDS. This study was conducted to assess the influence of the educational intervention on the promotion of perceived self-efficacy to inhibit HIV/AIDS among high school students. Methods: This quasi-experimental investigation included 230 high school students in Asadabad and was conducted in 2021. Following the selection of students by the multi-stage cluster sampling method, they were allotted into two equal (intervention and control) groups of 115 individuals. The educational program for the intervention group included five one-hour sessions of the students’ social network (Shad), which was implemented by a participatory method based on questions and answers and group discussion, as well as practical performance. A reliable and valid questionnaire comprising three parts (personal attributes, awareness, and health belief model [HBM] constructs) was employed for data collection. The collected data were analyzed using different tests, including Fisher’s exact test, the chi-square test, ANCOVA, and independent and paired sample t tests in SPSS software, version 16. Results: Educational intervention based on HBM not only affected the promotion of awareness (P&lt;0.05), self-efficacy, perceived susceptibility, severity, and benefits but also reduced students’ perceived barriers to preventive behaviors (P&lt;0.05). Conclusion: Our findings revealed that the educational intervention based on HBM affected health belief constructs concerning HIV/AIDS. Thus, the results of this study can be beneficial for school health education and health educators who design disease education programs.

Multiple mini-interviews is a predictor of students’ academic achievements in early undergraduate medical years: a retrospective study

BackgroundOur study determined Multiple Mini-Interview (MMI) effectiveness in evaluating specific skill sets based on medical students’ performances during the undergraduate years and compared the academic performances of medical students who appeared for onsite/online MMI.MethodsA retrospective study of 140 undergraduate medical students between 2016 and 2020 included data on age, gender, pre-university results, MMI scores, and examination results. Appropriate non-parametric tests were applied to compare the students’ MMI and academic performances.ResultsNinety-eight students from cohorts 12 to 15 had an overall MMI score of 69.0(IQR: 65.0—73.2)/100 and an overall Cumulative Grade Point Average(GPA) of 3.64 (3.42—3.78)/5.0. Spearman’s correlation revealed a significantly positive relationship between MMI and cGPA (rho = 0.23) and GPA from the first 2 semesters (GPA1 rho = 0.25, GPA2 rho = 0.27). This observation was similar to that for station A in the first year (cGPA rho = 0.28, GPA1 rho = 0.34, GPA2 rho = 0.24), and in station B (GPA4 rho = 0.25) and D (GPA3 rho = 0.28, GPA4 rho = 0.24) in the second year. Of twenty-nine cohort16 students, 17(58.6%) underwent online and 12(41.4%) offline modes of MMI assessment, respectively. The overall median MMI score was 66.6(IQR: 58.6—71.6)/100, and the overall median cGPA was 3.45 (3.23—3.58)/5.0. When comparing the median marks of cohort16 groups, the online group scored significantly higher marks for station D than the offline group (p = 0.040).ConclusionCorrespondence between MMI scores and cGPA predicted MMI scoring during student selection and entry process might ensure the success of their academic performance in medical school.
